Say you've been to AA or somehow acquired a hu-uge haul of Transformers toys in one go? How do you go about opening them/playing with them/appreciating them?
Vote in the poll and/or provide details in a reply!

I always space mine out, opening one at a time, usually on a Saturday afternoon. I like to make the experience last and give each toy a fighting chance to be appreciated.
Shortly before AA, the lovely Matt sent me the Rescue Force. All four members. So I've been opening them one at a time on a Saturday afternoon, embracing their awesomeness and applying their stickers.

I treat mine like a haul of Christmas presents and spread them out.

I space mine out in a week-long session of click-click-click-click

I sort mine out so that I have a great climax, like I'll sort the minicons etc first, then the larger guys, or the figures that I know I'll love  I only had a few sealed figures this year though, so my unpacking was pretty quick |

Sausage sandwich!
I also space them out. I reckon I shall play with Primus from this year's haul last as it's 'the big toy purchase' of the weekend.

I tend to open them all in one session have a fiddle then display, then come back for proper play over time
This year - as my FB friends will know - I also took a pic of each item for posperity and bragging rights - god it took ages but the state I was in yesterday it was good to have something mindless to do
Now I find I need a new bookcase for all the new display items...or a new sale - watch this space for some possible bargins in next few months - Henki Tankor will be there I think

I space them out but the once a week option I voted for really doesn't cover how long it will likely take. I still haven't opened Hotshot, Elita 1, Razorclaw, the sweeps and others from botcon 2009.
Translucent Animated is awaiting my birthday everything else will be opened a bit quicker than previous efforts. Device Blaster is already open.

Primus is a cool toy, I have him in robot mode holding Unicron's head while giving the V-sign to the larger Unicron figure.
As for the poll, I try to space them out as much as possible, might as well get the maximum enjoyment from each figure in turn!

I suspect that I will be spacing out this years haul in some way - mostly as I have not opened anything today and am back at work as of tomorrow.
I suspect I shall probably leave the Dark Skyfire until last as that was the one I had been planning to get for the longest.

My haul was opened and thoroughly examined within hours of getting back from Birmingham, patience never was one of my strong points.
Big Convoy had to be released first though, theres just something special about Oppy Prime as a wooly mammoth..

Oh, I'm not saying they're not Transformers... it's just that, in my humble view, I think Big Convoy is tantamount to an Action Master robot hiding inside a Pretender Beast shell.

I donated my Big Convoy to Toy-Fu last year. It looked nice, but transforming it caused me pain.

Big Convoy's actually one of my favourite looking Primes. He's even got a Matrix!!

Matrix, Tonfa, lovely sculpt and an endearingly cartoony looking Mammoth mode.
In the end Big Convoy was one of the few Beast Wars toys I kept - long outlasting Lio Convoy in my collection.
